Searching for the right cosmetics has not been the easiest thing for me. I've always treated it with a trial and error approach which I still find extremely exhausting until this day. Over the years, I've put my trust in these daily essentials, so much so that (at the risk of sounding vain), I can barely walk out the door without them.

Not only is it rich in pigment, the shades blend well to give off a subtle and natural look. The step by step instructional palette just makes it a huge plus.
A new addition to my make up bag that will definitely be on rotation.

A light scent. Half floral. Half fruity. Not overpowering on either end. Drawn to it because there's a hint of clean sheets somewhere in there. With perfume, it's hard to find "your scent" if that makes any sense? With all the testers I've come across, they've always been way beyond my years, too floral, or too fruity. Perfume should reflect one's personality. The funny thing is you'll know it's you when you smell it. Kind of like tasting a particular food and instantly going mmm or ick.

Applied after make-up to keep it staying on all day long!

4. Chanel eyeshadow in Sillage
Used for days I'm super lazy to use the 4 step shadow. The soft pink awakens the eyes.

Probably the one product I religiously use on the daily, considered to be a lifesaver--a cure to lack of sleep, malnutrition, and pale skin. A little bit on your t-zones and cheeks goes a long way. Result? A great glow, the perfect tan w/o the heavy feeling of a million layers on your face. It works wonders!!! I swear by it and even substitute it for foundation. Their products in general are genius.

All you need in a chapstick. Moisturizer, check! Nourishing, check!
Comes off matte just the way I like it.

 Dab this on facial scars, blemishes, and pimples. Blends into skin tone to take all your problems away. 
Psss..also great for nude lips. Just dab a touch on your finger then onto your bottom and upper lips. Also available in (a) and (c) depending on your complexion.

In addition to my set in powder, the mist hydrates the skin and is used as an extra precaution to ensure my make-up really stays throughout the day.

What are some of your faves? A girl can always learn.
